Campbell - Marr Interview

The media is divided, some say it was a stunt, others believe he was showing his emotion for a change. I've read the excuse on his blog and don't believe him.

All things considered, I think his 'pause' could have been his conscience catching up with his mouth. We all have a conscience, just some suppress it more than most. Mr Campbell is one of these people but today his conscience gained superiority. Not for long though, not with a spin merchant such as Alistair Campbell.

I did. Forget the emotion. What Campbell is worried about is the damage that Chilcot is doing to the Labour party in the run up the election. What will also be of concern to him is Brown's forthcoming session, because he may contradict a lot of the earlier evidence.

Of course he will be Howard because it's backfired completely. Brown thought it would show him as the good guy initiating it, Blair thought he'd be the good guy and Campbell wanted to come over as the one who held it all together.

It's the latest Labour strategy: public blubbing. Campbell on Marr; Brown on Piers Morgan. Expect Darling on an abusive childhood, Harman on bullying at her public school, Milliband on the humiliation of growing up with a tiny cock. It worked a treat for Blair with all the Princess Di nonsense, and playing for sympathy is all they have left. Get out and emote for New Labour!

This is obviously the successful tactic nabbed from the throughly dreadful 'X-Factor' where the more eye-watering pathos is blubbed the more likely the accumulation of votes! It's a winner - as the X-Factor audience is reputedly a dead-ringer for the average Labour vote.

And as for fortune and as for fame,You've always invited them inThough it seemed to the worldThey were all you desired.You're in denialYou've spun your last spinThe tears are for you and for yoursMy revulsion is plain as can be.Don't cry for me Campbellina.

I am old enough now. I have seen enough. I have done enough. I have been lied to enough. And I have met, and heard, people like Mr Campbell enough. Goodness knows I have done some bad things, and many more foolish things. And as such, as the Good Book says, would rejoice in the repentance of a prodigal son (having been more prodigal than most). However, this man is, bluntly, a lair and a bully.Gildas the Monk
